INHIBITION:
Certain materials will cause inhibition or neutralization of the curing agent. These materials are sulfur containing and organometallic salt containing compounds such as organic rubbers and many condensation cured RTV silicone rubbers. Inhibition may easily be determined by brushing a small quantity of TC-5041 over a localized area of the surface to be reproduced. If the TC-5041 is gummy or uncured after the curing time, then you know the mold surface is acting as an inhibitor. Molds made from wood, plaster, metal or plastic should not cause inhibition if they are clean. To insure against possible problems, it is advisable to seal the surface with RF-5215 or other appropriate sealer. Contact BJB’s Tech Sales for additional information.
